    Did not receive the raise i wanted, now what?

    Am i really expecting too much? Honest question, not being sarcastic or anything. I know it shouldn't be about the money and i do enjoy this job but i feel at this rate i will not be going anywhere, financially.

The firm i was just let go from was trying to sell a ship that i honestly couldn't see having much use...

    Well im not 100% sure right now, which i know is bad because employers like someone who has a specific skill. But i do know that i do NOT want to do any sort of structural or material related work. Those topics just bore me to death... sorry if that's your field lol. I enjoy the HVAC / fluids /...

    Tips for starting career and in between jobs activities

    Thank you so much for all this information Lacajun and DubMac. It feels good to know that there is something i can do about this situation... An engineer that's well rounded and sees the big picture is definitely better than one with just technical knowledge...

    Tips for starting career and in between jobs activities

    Thanks for the information! I'm still unsure of what would be considered work close to engineering or atleast something for in between jobs. I was thinking maybe a drafting or machining position. I definitely do like mechanical engineering but its kind of putting a bad taste in my mouth if its...
